There are two Ballynaman townlands in Donegal. One is in Kilteevoge civil parish, a mile NW of Commeen village (or about 5 or 6 miles between SE and ESE of Fintown village). The other Ballynaman is in Donaghmore civil parish, a mile and a half SSW of Killygordon (or 3 miles SE of Stranorlar town). Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
